Facilities which compost yard trash or yard trash and agricultural/silviculture waste will be reguired to apply for a solid waste permit if the facility processes more than 3.000 cubic yards of material per year. Solid waste permit regulations will be available to the public in the near future. Permit requirements for such a facility will have minimal requirements and will be permitted as "Yard Trash Composting Facilities." The permit application for yard trash composting will at a minimum contain the following information: 1) An aerial map showing significant features; 2) A site plan showing proposed areas for receiving, processing, production, curing, drainage control, access road, existing and proposed contours; 3) A written report which addresses anticipated type and source of waste, provisions to maintain a clean and orderly operation, designed capacity of the facility, composting process/system description, and any system monitoring required; 4) An operational plan addressing daily operations, equipment, personnel required, inspection methods, leachate control, proposed monitoring plan, and ultimate usage for final product along with a back-up disposal plan. * Solid waste landfills which designate a yard trash composting area within their facility boundaries will not be required to apply for a separate "Yard Trash Compost" permit. This designated area shall be shown on the plans and addressed in the regular landfill permit application. · Proposed regulations for yard ~rash composting will be reviewed by the Commission for Health Services during the August 22nd meeting in the ground floor hearing room of the Archdale Building in Raleigh.
